Donna Regina/Molly Nilsson

An interesting combo of female-fronted acts who take very different attitudes toward the philosophical: the Cologne-based husband-wife team that is Donna Regina have been recording puckish avant-pop for a couple of decades now. When she sings “Time is a very slow killer,” Regina Janssen’s vocals maintain a cool reserve, but her irony is warm. Playback specialist Molly Nilsson maintains a fervent local cult, though her romantic irony preferences interiority. DR’s label head, DJ Strobocop, spins through the night.
